Whether you’re deciding to replace your present window treatments or selecting a covering for your new home, shopping for new curtains and blinds can be overwhelming. In our previous post, we reviewed some popular trends for window treatments. In this post, we’ll continue with our review and try and help you have a positive design experience. Here are a few more popular trends you can try out for yourself.

Metallic

In a world which is constantly obsessed with high fashion, it’s pretty normal to see glittery fabrics on models as they introduce the latest trends of the fashion world. In the world of interior design, curtains made with shiny metallic materials are becoming very popular. Most homeowners are incorporating metallic coloured treatments in their home decor. When being used with a black rod, these treatments have to ability to add elegance to any space instantly.

Multiple Layers

An individual curtain set or a roller shade can keep light out of the room. However, when they’re installed by themselves, they can look too simple. The layering of window coverings is becoming a popular trend in the world of interior designing. Though the final project might look complicated, it’s a very simple look that anyone can create. You can begin by selecting any set of blinds which go well with your style preference and install them on the inside of the window. When you have windows which are oddly sized, the best solution is made-to-measure blinds. The next step is to select modern curtains and install them over the blinds. Decorator curtains look best when they’re paired with sheer curtains. This ensures that you have a window treatment which is both on-trend and affordable.

Natural Elements

This is one particular trend which has been in high demand for decades. Fabrics that include natural elements have been trending for a long time. However, if you consider changing your traditional damask or satin curtains to attain a sustainable and earthy look, organic materials are the best alternatives. A pair of bamboo roller shades can work well when paired with sheer linens. It’s perhaps the simplest way to create a window treatment which looks natural. It will allow you to freely practice and embrace the layering effect mentioned above. You must also remember that all natural elements are designed in such a way that they exude an airy and light look and feel off of it. So, pay attention while picking out the materials and colour for your window treatments.

Alternative Neutrals

In the first part of this blog post, we pointed out that certain neutral colours are currently taking a backseat to graphic and bold patterns. Whereas some view ecru, beige and white as forever timeless hues. These colours are popular but are finding themselves being replaced with darker neutrals such as slate and charcoal. When buying modern window treatments you’ll most likely notice numerous options available in such neutral yet bold shades. Most homeowners simply choose them as they can add a flair of sophistication to any room. This can be made to look elegant with floor-length window treatments. Additionally to fashionable aesthetics, darker shades help darken the room much quicker than lighter shades do.

Hopefully, this blog post has helped you take your interior design skills to the next level. The best thing to do is experiment with various ideas and styles of window treatments till you find what you’re looking for.
